SUPERTITLE – The new Gerriets LED Supertitle System

Umkirch, 8. June 2016

 

Until very recently supertitle systems required the use of projectors. Thanks to a significant drop in LED-prices it has become popular to use a LED display instead.

The advantages of LED displays are obvious: Substantially higher brightness; better contrast; deeper levels of black; less maintenance; longer product life at a low energy cost.

For several months now Gerriets has been selling it’s own custom designed LED system. This SUPERTITLE system was developed with help from experts and users in order to create the perfect supertitle experience in theatres and at the opera.

The dedicated software SUPERTITLE has also been designed to work specifically for a theatre/opera application. It allows text to be displayed on the SUPERTITLE system 2000 / P4.84 in a quick and easy way. In addition, the variety of editing options allows the SUPERTITLE system to meet  the requirements of a modern opera house.
